Im a happy user of the Blockclock Mini by Coinkite. While I wish I could do more with the API for visuals and lighting, it's still a great appliance that can be used to display arbitrary information.

Here's a link to an open source utility for formatting text

BTClock fixes this… best part of open firmware is user control if the vendor abandons the product or does not implement functionality users want

Is this on GitHub? Sounds interesting.

Was before Coinkite took it down with a trademark claim

Ah shame. Presumably someone forked it. Will have a look. Was it any good?

https://btclock.store is still up

I have all repositories backed up, the plan is to appeal. If that doesn’t work I can upload it under a different name

Ah, we met briefly in Madeira :-) Thought about coming up with a more unique design? Could be fun to 3D model a housing if you want some help :-)

How about calling it PlebClock or OSSClock or BOSSClock and altering the design to not so closely mimic the BlockClock?

Bit Clock - Bitock :-)
